Looks spanking though mate What I usually do for my 'hardcore cleaning days' is wash, wheels etc, then Dodo need for speed, 2x black hole, 2x wax or sealant. Black hole looks even more immense when you layer it, and with a couple of coats of LSP you can keep it locked in for a while and not have to do it too often Do that every 3-6 months and you're sorted, with just a wash every week or two. Occasional top-up of trim and tyre dressing etc as well. Going to go mad on mine this Friday
I want to Z20let and that was the plan , however if i do i would obviously want it to be all legal and i really cant afford the insurance costs .
And yh i know what you mean about layering the Poorboys , seems to bring it up even glossier every time . Get some decent pics up Dave when youve given it a good clean ??

Exactly my point . I'm gonna be pretty much done with it before PVS so just going to enjoy it for the summer and see how I feel after that .
I got a hunger for some power at the moment tho . And the little 1.4's really not fulfilling my needs

I would love to mate and that was my plan . However I can't justify spending the amount of money I would need to , to have it z20let'd and the insurance is a non starter .

Surely there's something inbetween a 1.4 and a LET that is a bit more affordable?

Yh probably but I can't be assed with the hassle of changing the engine on this one .
Want something that already has power and potential for more . I got a few ideas of what I want , not saying tho

What ones have you got bud ? I have the silverlines and I think there pretty good . I had mine fully down for a while on the front wich was 100mm and the tyres rubbed away all the inner arches lol . And I change my rear springs for 80mm nova ones cos the fk ones didn't really lower it much even with the adjuster cups out !
But I think there pretty good tbh ! I've kept my cleaned up and there's no sign of corrosion or paint flaking of the springs yet
